Augusto Cury, the Avante party candidate for Brazil’s 2026 presidency, continues to position himself as a ‘third way’ alternative to the polarization between Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and the Bolsonaro family. Recent polling indicates Cury is in third place with 12.2% of the vote, trailing both Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro. Cury’s platform emphasizes national pacification and concrete policy over ideological conflict. He has proposed the privatization of inefficient state-owned enterprises, specifically mentioning the Correios postal service if financial recovery is not possible, and suggested using Petrobras dividends to fund micro-businesses. He has also criticized high interest rates, attributing them to government fiscal irresponsibility, and has proposed a governance model featuring a strategic president and a managing prime minister. ~~Regarding~~ During a visit to the ~~justice system,~~ 28th International Book Biennial in São Paulo, Cury ~~has criticized the treatment of prisoners and advocated for improved resocialization programs.

Despite his momentum, Cury faces ongoing scrutiny. Reports indicate he may have omitted at least three Florida-based companies from his assets declaration to the Brazilian Electoral Court. Furthermore, contradictions have emerged regarding his academic background; while Cury maintains his doctorate from Florida Christian University is in Business Administration, a former university official stated the degree was in clinical psychology. He also continues to face questions regarding factual inaccuracies in interviews and the sale of educational materials by a municipality in 2015.
